What are the embellishments on the dress?

Are other sizes or colors available?

This guide focuses on the Karen Millen Velvet Embellished Maxi Dress in Red, Size 14. Other sizes and potentially colors may be available through the retailer; please check product listings.

Troubleshooting

Beads appear loose or dislodged

Carefully assess the area. For minor looseness, a specialized fabric glue or careful hand-sewing with matching thread can be used. For significant bead loss, contact customer service for repair options or consult a professional tailor specializing in occasion wear.

Velvet texture is flattened or creased

Hang the garment on a padded hanger to allow natural relaxation of the fibers. A garment steamer on a low, cool setting held at a distance can help restore the pile. Avoid direct ironing on the velvet.

Dress does not drape as expected

Ensure the correct size has been selected, as improper fit can affect drape. Check that the garment is fully unwrinkled. The lining should also hang correctly; if it is twisted, carefully adjust it.
